really – is it that difficult to discover that an aubergine is also an eggplant? alright so some food items might not be available in the US as they are in the UK, but that’s the same story as the many american books that exclude the rest of the world with their insular world-view, and certainly no reason to damn a great book.

PCOS treatment begins with adjusting your diet. Most, not all, women with PCOS suffer from insulin resistance (this simply means that the body cells are resisting allowing insulin to deliver the blood sugar they need, while the fat cells are screaming “Hey! Just back that truckload of glucose in RIGHT here!”). This book does not have all the answers, but it is a good overview of how nutrition affects PCOS.
Many women with PCOS have had great success with changing their diet to treat insulin resistance. Learn the basics here, then get a copy of one of the low glycemic index diets (Insulin Resistance Diet, South Beach, etc.) and eat your way to good health!

Solid performer including herbal, diet and exericse tips. Some women with this thing have endometriosis (I do not) and other polycystic ovaries (nope) & there is a third category where everything is normal but still no conception (three’s a charm
. Harris gives the varied ways to come to this detour and what to do to improve your chances to get to the goal (conception). I don’t agree with everything she says (no salt) but it’s a start and helpful way to organize your life and make the necessary changes to enhace your fertility. harris makes you realize that for the few of us for which fertility is not something that is as easy as a tussle in the back seat of a car it’s about allot of organization and effort. I think that this book will help us get there. Good luck.
PS I found this book very hard to read (extremely emotional).
Good luck ladies.

This is a good book when you are looking for answeres that no one seems to answer. It makes you realize that you are not the only one with PCOS. Assists with different ways to deal with it. there is a diet that I am going to start next week for 10 days and compare this past diet. Hope this diet works better.
